Cool Gray

In the 2016 San Francisco Decorator Showcase Kitchen by Martin Kobus, soft grays, whites and walnut create a welcoming palette. Cabinets by Martin Kobus Home for KronoSwiss keep a sleek profile, and Holly Hunt pendants illuminate countertops by Neolith Products.

In Justina Blakeney's "Jungalow," the wall between the kitchen and dining area is fittingly painted in Breakfast Room Green by Farrow & Ball. Moroccan clay tiles from Badia Design cover the kitchen backsplash, and the Silestone countertop is from Lowe's.

Copper Shelving

Working with just 72 square feet, Austin designer Kim Lewis broke out her best space-stretching strategies, starting with in-plain-sight storage. The copper-pipe shelving has hooks for hanging mugs and cookware, which keeps the counter clutter-free.

Nautical Windows

A "fisherman's shack" stays true to its roots with authentic porthole windows set in Ann Sacks's Jute glass tile. Honed granite counters look like slate but withstand more wear and tear.

Purposeful Updates

Frances Merrill kept an Oaji home's existing countertops and white Viking range but gave the base cabinets a more relaxed vibe with new doors painted in Benjamin Moore's Duxbury Gray. She also installed hexagonal terra-cotta floor tiles and open shelves of reclaimed wood. CB2 counter stools in leather reflect the decision to focus on natural materials.

Discrete Cabinets

Designer Amir Khamneipur likes to throw cocktail parties — he once fit 60 guests into his tiny Flatiron apartment — so he incorporated the kitchen into the design of the living room. Minimalist cabinets painted in Benjamin Moore's Harbor Gray match the color of the walls and hide appliances. The Fisher & Paykel pop-up gas cooktop is equally sleek: Its burners retract when not in use, leaving behind a solid glossy black surface.

Brass Accents

The Manhattan version of a farmhouse kitchen features gleaming brass hardware, a painted floor and two Wolf ovens. The cabinetry, in Benjamin Moore's White Dove, along with white-tiled walls and a milk-glass chandelier, creates the illusion of added sunlight.

Cypress Cabinets

The sun-drenched kitchen of a Charleston guesthouse features cabinets paneled in old-growth cypress wood salvaged during the home's renovation. Designer Cameron Schwabenton chose unlacquered brass hardware, which ages over time and adds to the rustic feel of the space. Sub-Zero undercounter refrigerators and freezers hide in plain sight to maintain the streamlined design.

Disappearing Space

"I wanted the kitchen to "go away" — which, it turns out, is an unpopular notion," designer Michelle Prentice says of her understated cooking area. "When we're seated at the dining table, the kitchen recedes; it feels like we're in a completely different room." The Danish dining table is surrounded by Jacob Kjaer chairs in Bretano's Royalsuede and vintage French armchairs in Lee Jofa's Tahira Ottoman fabric.
